Moisturizers -Unlisted Brand - Embryolisse
HolyPeas 2/10/2013 7:15:00 PM
The first time I purchased this was because of the youtube hype, I KEPT repurchasing it because its a lovely workhorse of a moisturizer. I use this at night and also before I apply makeup. The very first time I used it I didn't really "get it" but once I put on my makeup I understood it, it gives the most beautiful sheen to my dry dry skin without irritating my acne prone skin. It has a lipidy type of texture that I just have not been able to find in any other product. At about 20 dollars thats on the pricey side for me but I don't really care. One tube lasts me several months and the look of my skin deteriorates when I am not using this so I will continue to repurchase. I give very few 5 ratings but this is one product that has really blown me away.

Top/Base Coats -Coastal Scents - base coat
HolyPeas 2/10/2013 1:25:00 AM
This base coat is the best I have ever used. I like that the packaging for all coastal scents polishes are relatively small and cheap so you are not out very much if you want to try things. it can also be used as a matte top coat. Very good product.

Misc Beauty Tools -Clarisonic - Clarisonic PLUS Sonic Skin Cleansing System
HolyPeas 1/8/2013 9:05:00 PM
I don't have much to say about this that anyone hasn't said already but this is done a TON to clear up my adult acne. I regret not purchasing it sooner. I have been wanting this for YEARS but never wanted to buy it. Welp, I hit the jackpot on ebay and found a man selling his wive's clarisonic because she didn't like it. It was gently used. Knowing what I know now, I would purchase one at full price in a heartbeat.

Concealers -Avon - Ideal Shade
HolyPeas 1/8/2013 8:37:00 PM
I do not love this. To me its too dry, it creases, and it seems to turn orange. ALL CONCEALERS CREASE, that being said, even powdering didn't help, it shifted all over the place.

Eye Shadow -Revlon - Illuminance Creme Shadow Quad - Precious Metals
HolyPeas 1/1/2013 7:42:00 PM
I love this stuff - they are the softest, most natural cream shadows I've seen. If you are considering purchasing a mac cream color base I really suggest you try one of these first. All the colors are wearable and I have problem skin so I usually dont go for shimmer but its very fine and subtle that even I can pull it off nicely. They do crease a touch so use a base or a shadow over top of them.

Treatments -Pantene - Fine hair style spray heat protection and shine
HolyPeas 12/23/2012 1:17:00 PM
Everything about this is terrible. First, its hard to even say if the product even works because the bottle is so terrible, as others have said, it shoots out in one heavy, ridiculous stream. The parts of my hair that DID get some of this on it ended up crunchy, rough, and frizzy. My hair is extremely healthy too, so this was very strange and unpleasant. If the bottle were better and the product was dispersed it might be OK, but as of now, I cannot recommend anyone to purchase this.

Eyeliner -Rimmel - Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black
HolyPeas 12/23/2012 12:04:00 PM
I think Rimmel does itself a HUGE disservice to call this a waterproof smudge proof gen liner. Its a very nice gel liner, but its NOT waterproof by any stretch and its quite bendable too. This is probably not a good product if you are looking for a very precise product for a winged eye or something like this, and therefor I would not recommend anyone purchase this product in BLACK. That because said, it makes a beautiful more natural look with the brown color. I like this in brown - and I will repurchase, I just wish they didnt try to make it something its not, because it is a very beautiful creamy pigmented liner. I would like the packaging more if it didn't have the long tall cap with the brush in it. I simple cap to keep this condensed down in size would have been better.

Treatments -L'Oreal - EverSleek Precious Oil Treatment with Argan Oil
HolyPeas 12/20/2012 12:55:00 AM
I was not planning on buying this product, I went to Target with every intention to purchase BioSilk but that was very expensive so I was looking at the ingredients and this product had a VERY similar ingredients list except that it also added the argon oil in there so I thought "what the heck, I'll try it" And I am SO glad I did. It smells great and it does wonders for my wavy frizzy hair. I couldn't ask for a nicer product. I will always have this in the house from now on. Tips: DO NOT USE TOO MUCH! You will look like a grease ball. I have to keep this off my skin. It makes be break out. I dont know why. My hair loves it so I dont care, I'm just careful with it around my face. Completely do-able. I have this problem with any argon oil product though so if you don't this probably dont be a problem for you.

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
HolyPeas 10/2/2012 11:26:00 PM
In my opinion people expect too much from mascara. There is no magic formula thats going to make your lashes different than they are naturally. This is a basic mascara that does what a mascara should do, it coats and separates. I like it

Tinted Moisturizer -Aveeno - positively radiant
HolyPeas 9/20/2012 12:43:00 AM
I loved this at first but it turned out to be a pretty terrible product. It was great until I had had it a few months (its a HUGE container) and it very suddenly became a nasty consistency. it would actually pill and roll like a cheap sweater on my skin. very gross, and its not like I had it for months and months and months, I had it two, MAYBE THREE tops. Never again.

Lipstick -Wet 'n' Wild - Megacolors lipstick 917B Cinnamon Spice
HolyPeas 9/8/2012 9:55:00 AM
These are great though, they really live up to the hype. I would not typically purchase WnW products, I have always had the impression that they would be terrible (and I still think a lot of it is) but these are nice. They are almost totally matte, which I love because I have huge lips. As with any matte lipstick, you need a liner, and you need to make sure your lips are not flakey because it wont look good no matter if its WnW or Mac matte colors. I give the packaging a 4 because I love how these come in a flat top instead of a pointed lipstick and I like the black packaging. It gives it a better look. I hate WnW usual sort of silver packing. It looks terrible. They would get a 5 if the sticks could be retracted completely into the tube.

Lipstick -Wet 'n' Wild - Megalast Lipstick Stoplight Red

This color is BRIGHT, but I think thats obvious from the packaging from the store so I dont believe anyone would think otherwise. It was true to what I had in mind.

Lipstick -Wet 'n' Wild - Mega Last Lipcolor 913C Sand Storm
HolyPeas 9/8/2012 9:35:00 AM
The first thing I wanted to say is that the only reason I would not buy this again is because the color was not what I expected. In the tube it appears lighter than it looks once I put it on. Its a nice color, I was just expecting a but of a sort of nude everyday shade and it really is more of a date night color. These are great though, they really live up to the hype.

Styling Products -John Frieda - Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Creme
HolyPeas 8/5/2012 4:00:00 AM
I have been using this product a long time. I am usually a sort of wash and go type of girl, I dont use a ton of products, especially hair products, but I think this one is worth the 6 dollars and the minute it takes to work it though your hair. It the one thing that I get a lot of compliments on. People grab my hair and act like it is amazingly healthy when I use this stuff. Truth is though that it really isnt in pristine condition but this product really makes it look good. The smell is nice but it doesn't linger forever so I don't think it's in competition with my perfume.
